Crafting with my Kids: Footprint Butterflies

I haven't posted about our crafty adventures for awhile.  There are a number of large uncompleted rainy moment projects, but mostly we have been playing outside, puddling around the garden, taking off training wheels, potty-training etc.    I realized this past weekend that we hadn't made any Father's Day Cards so we got out the paints.  [Unfortunately, due to the Canada Post postal strike disruption I doubt these will reach their intended recipients in time (so this spoiler post is a good thing).]
The inspiration for this project came from a really neat blog called Handprint and Footprint Art, and specifically this butterfly footprint.    Instead of a paper collage, we created our footprints on muslin fabric and then I stitched the muslin to card stock to make a greeting card in the shape of a butterfly.
There were lots of giggles involved when the girls painted each other's feet.

I have also been on a mission to print out photos on my camera's memory card, while doing that I printed some extras to make a photo wreath. The girls enjoyed going through the photos over the past year and picking out which ones to include.  Digital photos are great, but there is something really nice about  holding a physical snapshot.

I hope you are having a great week,
